As KEG continues to expand our services in Kentucky, we are proud to be a part of impactful projects in the state. The US 31E/Bardstown Road Planning Study has been a significant undertaking of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 5 to improve a heavily-traveled corridor in the greater Louisville area. Partnering with HMB Professional Engineers, Inc., the KEG team provided transportation engineering services in support of creating a prioritized improvement plan to US 31E from the Bullitt County Line to KY 1065. KEG developed improvement concepts for bike and pedestrian connectivity and parallel route connectivity. This included getting pedestrians through the I-265 partial clover leaf interchange with US 31E. A few weeks ago, KYTC hosted a public meeting to inform residents about the planning study and gather their input. During the event, our exhibits were showcased to help stakeholders visualize and understand the proposed improvements. #KEGatwork

Fortunate to be invited by my friend and colleague Justin Golbabai to address the American Planning Association Texas chapter conference this week, “Planning & Community Engagement for Memory: How Communities Decide What, Where, When, and How to Display Its History.” #apatx #planning Typically, the planning practice focuses on creating new developments to modernize a community and facilitate its growth. That said, in recent years, many cities have been thrust into the consideration of both new memorials to tragic events, such as mass shootings, and existing memorials, such as those that pay tribute to figures whose history with race proves to be divisive in the modern era. Using real-life scenarios, participants in this session will work together to consider how they might approach these memorial-based questions as planners, such as, - What do we need to learn? - Whom do we need to engage? - How should the engagement look? This session will also tackle critical questions related to how to ensure that all voices in a community have a chance to be heard, both in terms of what is memorialized and in terms of how https://lnkd.in/dnjMvg8K

Our resident planning expert and CWPA MD, Joe Corr, recently joined Newstalk presenter Sean Moncrieff to discuss various planning topics.

Joe also shared insights on strategic infrastructure developments, the appeals process, and judicial reviews. #Planning #Architecture #PlanningProcess #DevelopmentPlans #StrategicInfrastructure You can listen back here:
